Freeman said he had a friend in Haiti who thought he was under a hex and was desperate to leave him.
"Woodoos is as important in modern Haiti as Catholicism was in medieval Europe, and to study one without the other would be neglecting an essential part of the culture." Freeman said.
THOSE WHO believe in the powers of vooooh, most of whom are destitute poorly Haitians, must struggle for food not only for themselves, but for the gods as well, according to Jowel McGee, a teacher assistant and graduate student who arrived from Haiti yesterday morning.
"They believe in one great god, like the
Solar God," he said. "He has many gods to help him out." "Fergus was a
great friend to him."
Laguerre said there were two groups of people in Haiti: Catholics and Protestants. He said they were some Catholics who believed in voODO, while others believed that there were no Protestants who believed in voODO.
Lagueur said he was raised in a Protestant family, and thus did not believe in voodoo.
"One thing is that it really represents the character, the spirit of our ancestors, because people think we (got) our independence because of voodoo." Lauguer said.
But economic problems do not affect the practice of voodoo for the believers.
HE ALSO said believers thought the country was economically because Haiti did not practise Islam.
For example, Laguerre said, if a child in a family is sick, the family will go to a voodoo
"When the loua has to ask to give them (the loua) food, people who are really poor have to find what the god asked (for). This way it is very hard." he said.
But Freeman said there is no waste in Haiti.
"Your food offering (at the manje laou) is on a little plate," he said. "Whatever your leave leaves on the plate, you eat at the end—in other words, a big feast follows the ceremony."
The dead were identified as Madj. Norman Lowry III, the group leader from Radford, Va.; Capt. Willie Mays, Ripley, Tenn., flying left wing; Capt. Joseph "Pete" Peterson, Tuskegee, flying Dallas, Fla.; and Capt. Mark Mekhena, Dallas, Texas; a native of Dayton, Ohio,飞着 the slot position.
Thunderbird
Eyewitness accounts indicated the planes had completed the loop and were diving earthward when the T-38 Telcels nosed into the desert. From the air, four charred streaks show where the planes crashed and burned trails across the desert side by side.
From page 1
THE FATAL maneuver called for the Thunderbirds to streak about 100 feet above the ground, side by side. The pilots then rapidly climb to several thousand feet, loosing some speed at the top of the loop and then dive earthward, still side by side.
Gregory, commander of the tactical weapons fighter center, said the maneuver "was not the most difficult maneuver." He said he could not touch this point of the maneuver was the most critical.
The Thunderbirds had been practicing for the 1982 show season since October. Gregory said it was too early to determine when or if the season would end, and he didn't determine the cause of the crash, Gregory said.
ANOTHER eyewitness, Jim Kelmo, a motorist from Ojai, Calif., said, "Right before the crash they were going up and then were rolling on a skateboard." Another motorist of the dive, all four of them hit the ground.
Sullivan, from Boulder City, Nev., said, "The pilot farthest to the East hit the ground first and the other three followed within a tenth of a second flying in formation. They did not collide with each other. They didn't pull up fast enough."
Before yesterday's crash at about 10 a.m., about 40 miles northwest of Nellis Air Force Base, the Thunderbirds' most recent accident had been on Dec. 9, 1981, when the jet of the team leader, Lt. Col. David Smith, crashed at about 12 a.m., and Smith died when his parachute failed to open.
SMITH'S aircraft crashed after losing power when its two engines sucked in several seagulls.
Eight of the team's 14 fatal crashes have occurred in Nevada.
Loren Conaway, a mobile home resident at Indian Sorinus, saw the crash.
Firefighters examine the contents of the gutted trailer that was destroyed by fire last night.
"I saw a huge column of black smoke going up. There appeared to be three major fires," he said. "The aircraft was broken in several pieces and there were two burns on the runway, but I am a bad judge of distance.

WSU president labels report invalid

WICHTA, Kan.-Wichita State President Clark Alhberg said yesterday the university will not act on fundings by a member of an in-house committee because the report was "of no value."
Dwight Murphy, an associate professor of business at Wichita State, said the NCAA in-
The NCAA found most of the rule violations in the tenure of previous coach Harry Miller and found current coach Gene Smithson guilty of minor violations.
Ahlberg said he had known for months that Murphy disagreed with the findings by the department.
"He's apparently upset that the NCAA agreed "But he's entitled to his opinion."
Murphy, made his statements despite the community's continued support for the team after the three-year probation, with two years of penalties, was levied by the NCAA.
